Coming through in the crunch

Chuck Bourg.

For anybody in the NSU athletic department, if there’s a problem, Chuck is usually able to provide a solution. He directs the athletic facilities and equipment and is the ultimate jack of all trades.

Friday afternoon, his trade became telephone repair. After lunch, phone lines serving press row at Prather Coliseum died.

Campus telephone repair man Dale Martin was out of town and his cell phone signal was weak.

All this meant was that the radio broadcasts of the game, both for the Demon Sports Network and Utah State, were kaput.

Except Chuck, and Donna “Momma D” Anderson of the university police office, managed to find the solution. It took some hands-on engineering and also some technical advice from outside, but bottom line is, once again, for the 1,023,377th time, Chuck is our hero!
